Chapter 697: Picking Up People
Carrots and sticks have always been the way to control them.
After letting them disperse, Xu Wanzhen returned to the house, picked up the half-sewn shirt, and continued to sew the cuffs.
Now that autumn is halfway over, the climate has gradually cooled down with the continuous autumn rains. She thought about sewing a set of winter clothes for Wu Zhengxiang.
Originally, before a woman got married, she not only had her wedding dress, purse, sachet and other things, but also needed to pick one out of her clothes, hats, shoes and socks and make it for her in-laws. For the future husband, it is necessary to make enough clothes for all seasons to appear virtuous.
Xu Wanzhen has a female red background for ten years, and the things she makes are more novel and chic than the embroidery girls outside.
But she had been asleep before she got married, and even the wedding dress was embroidered by Mrs. Xu so that Yu Xuemin's daughter-in-law took a few maids. used phoenix fire satin, and the embroidered Luanfeng and Ming patterns were lifelike, but Xu Wanzhen always felt very sorry that the wedding dress that was once in a lifetime was not embroidered by herself.
Not to mention the shoes prepared for Chen, Wu Jiao and others, as well as the four seasons clothes prepared for Wu Zhengxiang, which were also embroidered by the maid.
Therefore, now that she has free time, she will make him a set of winter clothes from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. Thinking of his beloved, wearing clothes that he sewed by himself, it was a very beautiful feeling.
I can't be by his side all the time, but I can with my carefully sewn clothes, and I can accompany him in and out as if I were with him.
Xu Wanzhen thought like this, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile wistfully. I secretly thought in my heart that in the future, every stitch and thread on his body must be made by himself.
This is the first time to do it, and Xu Wan is really cautious.
A few days ago, I measured his size, and chose the finest and softest Suzhou Hangzhou silk to make the lining or middle coat, and the outside chose the dark grid cloud silk brocade of lake blue. On the rust sample, choose the simplest pine and bamboo patterns and moire.
After this set, in addition to the middle coat, outer robe, silk socks, cloud boots, and bedclothes, he also plans to make an extra hunting suit with Hu Fu and arrow sleeves to facilitate his movement.
Such a large project, when it is completed, it is estimated that it has just entered winter. What she was holding in her hand was a middle coat, which had just been cut yesterday and sewn it first when she had time today.
As soon as she sewed one sleeve, Sang Zi picked up the whole dress and asked her to check if it was smooth. Qingluo reported outside: "Young lady, the shopkeeper of Liu Jimuxing has arrived." ”
For this honest craftsman who eats by craftsmanship, Xu Wan really respects it. Now that I'm here, the furniture should be pretty much in good shape, a little earlier than originally estimated. Let him wait in the flower hall and change his clothes before going to see him.
"Second young lady, the furniture in the yard is ready, do you think you should move in today or choose a date?" Facing Xu Wanzhen, who was like a fairy, Liu Cheng didn't dare to take a second look, and only replied honestly.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Wanzhen said, "I'll move today." "It's not a housewarming, you don't have to look at any day.
It's better to move in early, so that all the premises can be used. Unlike now, although there are many vacant rooms in Zhiyuanju, the only ones who can live in them are the main room, the ear room and the east and west wings. The newcomers were all crammed into three side rooms, with bunks.
Liu Cheng respectfully agreed, and was about to retreat. Xu Wanzhen asked Sang Zi to reward him with a purse containing a few gold leaves. Liu Cheng took it with both hands, knew the contents of the purse when he held it in his hand, and kowtowed a few times gratefully before exiting the flower hall.
Frightened to Tu Manfen, who was recuperating in the east wing, Xu Wanzhen instructed Bai Yao to inform him that furniture was about to be moved in the yard.
In only two quarters of an hour, the bed, the cabinet, the high table, the cage and other objects were brought in one after another. Zhiyuan lives in the backyard of the Zhongguo Mansion, and the people of the wooden line naturally can't come in.
The cart loaded with furniture was unloaded in front of the hanging flower gate, and the rough envoy mother-in-law from the inner courtyard arranged by the Lu family carried it in. Zhiyuanju also arranged for people to greet him.
The furniture booklet was drawn up by Mama Zheng, and at this time, she was in charge, which piece of furniture was placed in that room, everything was in order, and Xu Wanzhen didn't have to worry about it. These are several pieces of furniture in the room, and there are dozens of pieces in total, and they are not finished in a moment.
Xu Wanzhen looked out of the window, and the courtyard was a busy scene. Compared to when she first woke up, this courtyard is full of life and vitality, and it is no longer empty and deserted.
This is my home with him, she thought silently to herself. A home that she is completely in charge of, and guarded by her. Here, I have to bear children for him and watch them grow up.
When he was in a trance, a few soft calls came from his ears: "Young lady, young lady?"
"Oh?" Xu Wanzhen came back to her senses: "What's wrong." ”
"Young lady, Mr. Ning is here. Qingmai said.
Xu Wanzhen turned her head suddenly, but saw Mr. Ning standing quietly by the door, looking at her with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Against the light, she stood so indifferently and peacefully, even the surrounding scenery seemed to be dyed with a layer of silence of the years.
"It's really negligent!" Xu Wanzhen apologized and ordered: "Take the set of teacups used by Aunt Nan and make a pot of osmanthus tea." Then go to the kitchen and see what pastries are served. Qingmai took the order.
Seeing that she was thoughtful, Mr. Ning smiled slightly and said, "Every time I come to you, you are like this, next time I will be so scared that I dare not come." ”
Xu Wanzhen smiled and said, "Aunt Nan, please take a seat." Zhen'er also has requirements like this, and if Zhen'er goes to Baicaowei next time, then she must be treated like this. ”
Mr. Ning replied loudly: "Okay, this is simple, I can promise you now!"
The two sat down, and Mr. Ning said, "I came today to pick up Manfen." ”
"So fast?" Xu Wan was really taken aback.
Mr. Ning shook his head with a smile: "It's not happy, she has finished sitting in Xiaoyuezi." Don't you want her to be independent and start over? ”
While the two were talking, Qingmai Qingluo came in with a tray, poured the brewed osmanthus tea, and set a large table full of small pastries such as Poria cake, rose cake, pea yellow, and three-color cake, before bowing down. When the young lady and Mr. Ning were talking, they didn't like to be present.
Wu Zhengxiang likes to eat sweets, so Xu Wanzhen ordered to go down, and these small pastries are always in the kitchen.
Mr. Ning picked up a piece of pea yellow and put it in his mouth, and praised: "You little girl will enjoy it!"
"Where, it's far less abundant than the herb-flavored dishes. Xu Wanzhen smiled: "Even if you want to change, it won't be so fast!" She was already used to Tu Manfen's existence.
Mr. Ning smiled mysteriously, leaned over to her and whispered, "Wouldn't it be better to leave earlier? I guess you can't let go of it these days, right?"
Hearing her say this, Xu Wanzhen glared at her in shame: "Aunt Nan, what are you talking about?"
